I may have misread @RadioFreeTom here, but I liked the tweet because I thought it reaffirmed that the banks caused the housing crisis. If Tom meant it the other way, he should've used a colon.
But whatever the case, @LOLBeReasonable, I'll like whatever the hell I want to like.

And if you're not only going to review the tweets I like but then call me out for ones you disapprove of in a tut-tutting tweet of your own, then I'll go ahead and block you.
For what I'd like to believe is the last time, let me note that this is my personal Twitter feed, which I do for free and on my free time.

Don't tell me what to write about (or not), who to follow (or not), and definitely what to "like" (or not). Jesus Christ.

Senator Sam Ervin made the same threat to the Nixon White House during the Watergate hearings.
"These are not sacrosanct persons," Ervin noted in April 1973. "Divine right of rule perished in America with the American Revolution, and it doesn't belong to White House aides."
The White House initially refused, but once they realized Ervin was serious -- that the Senate might hold the aides in contempt and refer them to the US Attorney in DC for indictments -- Nixon's men relented two weeks later.

This was a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing this weekend -- the special airs on TBS on Saturday night, 10pm Eastern.
Here's another promo with NYU's Michele Mitchell.

(The other historians taking part in the roast are @ManuBhagavan, Julia Ott, @studentactivism, José Moya, Eric Foner, and Ayse Baltacioglu-Brammer.)
Here's a third promo with the roast participant I've been dying to see -- Columbia's Eric Foner.

Once again, this is utter nonsense.
First of all, she says that the Southern Strategy is a "myth," when we have actual documents from inside the Nixon administration and elsewhere on it.

Here's just one example, a 1969 memo written by a young Lamar Alexander, who was a White House aide:
Beyond those internal documents, it's something that Nixon strategists discussed openly in the press at the time as well.

Here's Nixon's strategist Kevin Phillips in 1973:

So for the last few months I have been exploring setting up a dedicated #Housing advice centre for #Suffolk. It is undeniable that due to the lack of #LegalAid provision in the county and the increase in people seeking specialist advice that a housing advice centre is desirable.
Whilst speaking to people about this a question that has been raised a number of times is “why are you not still providing specialist housing advice at @midsuffolkcab?” A good question that really does need answering so here goes.
This was me just over 7 months ago, happy #volunteering for @midsuffolkcab as a housing adviser and running a general advice outreach service at Wattisham. I was busy, the role stressful but for the most part I was throughly enjoying being part of something that I believed in.

Here's a thread on banks becoming tech companies, vice versa and a few other permutations. #fintech #APIs #Banks
Mostly in response to this tweet:
@JacquelineJumah @FinLagos @EmekaOkoye @FinLagos @jamesagada @dejiolowe
If banks start thinking of their C&I groups as B2B tech providers - including to their own retail/consumer banking units, the business case is there. They provide the tech infrastructure (via APIs) to companies creating great consumer experiences

Thought I would share some history of our #Press and perhaps some of the ppl behind it so we can understand how it became #FakeNews "The first American press was the partisan press, underwritten and dictated by the political parties."
"The third wave in American journalism—that of the foundation press—may be taking form now thanks to Bay Area billionaires Herbert and Marion Sandler. Waving $10 million that they promise to replenish annually"
"The Sandlers have founded the nonprofit ProPublica to produce investigative journalism. (Usual suspect the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation is also chipping in some money to the ProPublica kitty, as are the Atlantic Philanthropies and the JEHT Foundation.)"

Kanye’s new album is a soundtrack to the viscerally agitated atmosphere in America right now. It captures the desperate, unnerved flailing of a nation thrown into a conversation on masculinity it doesnt know how to have.

None of what Ive just written is a compliment.

A thread:
I hoped, thought for a moment, that first track ‘I Thought About Killing You’ would be a smart subversion about suicide and overcoming it.

But, here are some of the lyrics:
“Today I thought about killing you, premeditated murder / And I think about killing myself / And I love myself way more than I love you, so... / You’d only care enough to kill somebody you love / The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest”
